New Resteraunt

Hello, Gordan recently opened a resteraunt in Baltimore, MD. Can someone add that as I can not? thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by NoIPMakerLemons (talk • contribs) 20:28, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

County of birth

His county of birth is given as Renfrewshire. Because he was born before April 1974 his county of birth should be more accurately given as Renfrewshire (historic).

Guest appearances

The list of guest appearances is getting overly long. To my opinion those single events are coming close to fancruft. I propose complete removal of that section. The Banner talk 15:01, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Irrelevant addition

To my opinion, this edit just adds trivial, irrelevant info. Of course, the other part thinks it is important enough to add.

Please opinions. The Banner talk 17:40, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Relevant because it's the demarcation line between him being in a conglomerate versus a solo career, which is how he has become successful. - NewTestLeper79 talk 17:57, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Based on a single remark in a TV-program? How many other people have gone solo already? The Banner talk 18:34, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

• I agree with The Banner. We don't need to include everything that can be referenced, and this looks like boosterism. --John (talk) 18:58, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Television Appearances

Gordon has had an appearance on Disney Channel's "Big Hero 6: The Series" as Bolton Gramercy.

I really wish the name wasn't as dumb as it sounds, but regardless he was on it.

In this paragraph:

Eating and exercising habits

Ramsay revealed that he exercises semi-competitively for general well-being, as he has seen overweight and unfit chefs collapse or becomes unable to move quickly around the kitchen. He often competes in ironman, marathons, and triathlons. He also eats very little per 'meal', and prefers to graze throughout the day, partly due to the habit he built up as a judge, expeditor and chef and also beacuse of his busy schedule.[106][107] He also has a black belt in karate.[108]

Scottish or British?

I've read countless articles about British people on wiki and most use English/Scottish/Welsh and so on instead of British so wouldn't it make more sense to use it here as well? Rayansb (talk) 10:27, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

It would make sense to call them British. ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 10:56, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Even Scottish-born could not be mentioned here. The Banner talk 11:21, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Says he was born there and raised in England right in the opening. If he had been born and brought up in Scotland there would be an argument for calling him Scottish but as he was brought up in England I can't see any valid argument to change British to Scottish. British is accurate as he was born and brought up in Britain. ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 11:34, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Restaurants owned or operated by Ramsay

Hello - is there a valid reason why the countries in which the restaurants are located are noted for every one except those in the USA ? Consider:

• England, 14 listed and each with the country noted.
• Hong Kong, 3 listed and each with the country noted.
• UAE, 2 listed and both with the country noted.
• France, 2 listed and both with the country noted.
• Italy, 2 listed and both with the country noted.
• Ireland, 1 listed and with the country noted,
• Canada, 1 listed and with the country noted.
• Australia, 1 listed and with the country noted.
• Singapore, 1 listed and with the country noted.
• Japan, 1 listed and with the country noted.
• South Africa, 1 listed and with the country noted.
• Qatar, 1 listed and with the country noted.
• USA, 12 listed and none with the country noted.

This is puzzling, and certainly inconsistent. Could someone with editing access correct this ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C5:9313:B900:B840:E6B:5B9F:760 (talk) 19:06, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Some people think the the world consists of the USA and a few other countries (Geo-POV). I have changed the section in a more neutral one by splitting the table. The Banner talk 20:31, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

• Good point ~ Thanks for your note ~ ~mitch~ (talk) 21:39, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
  • Thank you to you both for acknowledging my comment, and making changes to the article. I note the table still needs some tweaking as the country is still listed for each (apart for those in the USA) within the location box as well as by recently added sub-headings. Deleting the country within the individual location boxes appears the most sensible.

If you search for Tom Holland on google, the wiki article will say he's an ENGLISH actor, but if you search for Gordon Ramsey, it'll say BRITISH chef. Now, why is that? because when an Englishman does something good, he's English, but when a Scot does something good, he's British.

Under Life-threatening experience it says, Ramsay fell off a "85 feet high cliff", however, in the actual episode (available on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a40VeD8YxiU around the 6 minute mark) he states it's "80 meters high" and later says "250 feet".

Controversy over his disliking of Cornish People

This entire section feels off. Simply stating he has a 'disliking' of Cornish people because of a joke, furthered by referring to these remarks as 'xenophobic', despite Cornish people being from the same country as Gordon Ramsay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.43.131.155 (talk) 04:19, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

The editor in question who added this section is themselves guilty of making xenophobic comments about the English being “invaders” who stole “Celtic lands”, despite the English being very much descended from the pre-Roman population of Britain. They also made a comparison between the alleged anti-Cornish sentiment and the antisemitism, which is totally unacceptable.2A00:23C7:4F84:7F01:589D:92F0:8DF4:7FDA (talk) 13:36, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

I advice that you do your history again. Ever heard of Angles, Saxons and Vikings as invaders? The Banner talk 13:57, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

I don't remember denying that they were. I'm discussing ethno-nationalist irredentist clap-trap that is being pushed by a Welsh nationalist on here who believes Stonehenge is "Welsh" despite it pre-dating any notion of Welsh language or culture. And the "Anglo-Saxons" are but one group the English are descended from, and Anglo-Saxon is not synonymous with English. Celtic ethnonats are just as obnoxious as their demented English counterparts. And unlike you, I am a Celt, being predominantly descended from Scottish and Welsh peoples, with immediate relations born into poverty in what became Northern Ireland. Stop viewing England as a monolith. --2A00:23C4:3E08:4001:2D32:2A48:E944:B665 (talk) 21:08, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

Restaurants owned or operated by Ramsay

Currently, the section headed "Restaurants owned or operated by Ramsay" links to the main article List of restaurants owned or operated by Gordon Ramsay, and then continues to feature a lengthy list in-page anyway. My opinion is that, as the separate list page is more exhaustive, and the number of restaurants operated by Ramsay looks set to increase rapidly in coming years, the in-page list should be removed, and focus should be on maintaining the separate list page.

Change proposed to related WP article, "List of restaurants owned or operated by Gordon Ramsay"

Since 2013 there has been a separate Wikipedia article, "List of restaurants owned or operated by Gordon Ramsay": it has been used as an extension of the Gordon Ramsay article here, with an all-inclusive list of all restaurants he owns or operates now, and has had in the past, and others announced as upcoming. It includes Restaurant Name, Location (City/Region/Nation), Date Opened, Date Closed (or of when Ramsay stopped being involved), its Michelin star history, any Notes, and "Ref" (links to citations).

Now a Wikipedia editor (or perhaps admin?) has removed portions of the text at top of that article, which had been explaining info about the background of Gordon Ramsay's history (and future plans) for his restaurants. That same person has added a section to the Talk page, saying "I'm proposing we limit this list to notable restaurants." They explain that "WP isn't a directory, and that's what this list seems to have become."

Talk:List of restaurants owned or operated by Gordon Ramsay#Notable restaurants

I've given my thoughts on why I disagree with the proposal, including that it would affect this main Gordon Ramsay article, as they are related. The person doesn't agree with me. They go on to say that, "If a restaurant is notable, make an article. If a restaurant isn't notable, why list it here? My proposal is that we include notable restaurants -- that is, the restaurants that have (or clearly should have) articles."

If you have any thoughts on this matter, I encourage you to head over there and give your feedback. DiscoBookworm (talk) 01:49, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Right now this list is a WP:DIRECTORY. It literally includes every restaurant Ramsay has ever touched, notable or not. It include an entry for each restaurant in one of his restaurant chains, even if a particular entry isn't notable. And half of these chain entries that have an article don't look notable, the coverage seems to be mostly routine business coverage on a number of them. I'm concerned about COI. This editor has stated they are just a fan, but even a fan can have a COI.Valereee (talk) 02:18, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Lede image

I've been lurking on this page for a few years now, and I've noticed that there's this occasional back in forth on the lead image, every once in a while, the lede will be switched either from Commons:File:Gordon Ramsay.jpg to Commons:File:Gordon Ramsay colour Allan Warren.jpg or vice versa. For example, on June 9, @The One I Left changed the lead image from the latter to the former. So I'm having this discussion to sort of establish a clear consensus on the lede, using 5 images from commons that would be best suited to be in the infobox. - Knightoftheswords281 (Talk · Contribs) 22:51, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Survey

1st is best Hello! I think the 1st image is clearly the best one. The rest each have their own problems.The One I Left (talk) 22:53, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

I'm not overly fond of any of them, to be honest. The first has him looking away from the camera and with a very odd expression, so I would be a definite "no" on that one. The second, he's also looking off camera, and there's a lot of visual clutter (parts of other heads, a green pillar looking like it's sticking out of his head, etc.) in that, but it's at least marginally better than the first. The third again has part of another head in it, and is very grainy and low-resolution, so that one's probably a "no"—I like the composition with his face straight on, but it's just too poor of quality. The fourth is very poorly lit, especially for his clothing; it looks like his head is just floating in space since his black clothing isn't really picked up in the shot and the background is extremely dark as well. Definite no. And the fifth, again, looking off camera and very low-resolution. So, I would actually go with option six: File:GordanRamsey2013Muppets.png. It's decent resolution, he's looking directly into the camera so his whole face is clearly visible, and his trademark chef jacket is shown clearly in the photo. Even that one's not perfect, but I think it's better than any of the others above. And since the whole video ([3]) is licensed CC-BY, it's also quite possible that we could extract an even better still from it to use as the primary infobox photo. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 23:43, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

In addition to all of your observations @Seraphimblade, all of these images are, or nearing on a decade old. Surely there must be a newer free picture of Gordon Ramsay out there somewhere? ♠JCW555 (talk)♠ 00:33, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

I didn't find any when I searched Commons, but if you can find some, that would certainly be good as well, since all of these are indeed pretty old. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 01:15, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

I did find this one from 2018 but it's super low quality and is a screenshot from a YouTube video. ♠JCW555 (talk)♠ 03:08, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

I went through that video, but the only time he's shown in it is on a stage and filmed from pretty far back, so cropping it down close enough to just show him would inevitably result in the quality being very poor. Good find, but unfortunately I don't think we could get anything usable from it. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 03:32, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

• Comment (Summoned by bot) – It's good to get feedback, but I don't know that you need the formal structure of a 30-day Rfc; have you considered just a normal discussion? In any case, I don't know that the first one is "clearly" the best; for one thing, it looks like he just shot fireworks up out of his left ear. Two and three suffer from having other people in the image. Four and five don't have that problem. Also, don't forget that the article could have a zoomed-in version, if you wish; here's #5, zoomed in a bit and cropped. (edit conflict) Mathglot (talk) 23:53, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
• So I'm in two minds about the image. My non-serious mind likes the first image because of the memes it's spawned over the years, but I know that's irrelevant :P. My serious mind is leaning toward image four. Just speaking for me personally, I've never liked images where the subject is looking near sideways as the main image of articles. Image three looks like it would crop terribly as well. Seraphim's issues with image four are valid, but from what we have to work with, I feel like it's the best image here. ♠JCW555 (talk)♠ 04:07, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
• 1st is best, although I'm sure there's a better option out there.--Ortizesp (talk) 04:46, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
• 1st is better than the others, and will be my !vote, but none of them are great and all have some problems. I agree that the problem with the 1st is that he has an odd facial expression and head angle, and the fire behind him blends oddly with his hair, but other than that it has a nice dark background and he's dressed in his chef outfit which helps identify who he is and what he is notable for. The 2nd image has severe contrast problems-- the background blends with the foreground too much and makes it hard to really see details, it's full of visual clutter that gets in the way. The 3rd image is blurry, and contains a cropped bit of who I presume is his wife? Or a fan he's posing with? Don't know, but cropping the middle of her face is bad, and enough for me to reject it entirely. The 4th image is a good picture of his face without any clutter, but he has a wild hairstyle that is not representative of how he is depicted in most works where he appears-- it's more of a candid shot than a representative one, unfortunately, which is why I definitely would choose the 1st over this one. The 5th image is too zoomed out, and again has the "not representative" problem. The zoomed in version of the 5th image is better in one way-- it frames his face-- but far far worse in that it's blurry. So after all that, I come back to the 1st image, facial expression, head angle, and fire clutter problems notwithstanding. I wish we had a better free image we could use, but of the images offered, this one is best for the article, primarily because it is representative of how he appears in the area that he is notable. And that's important when it comes to a lead image. Fieari (talk) 07:26, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
• 1 or 5 - Per the above; 1 definitely appears to be technically best. 5 isn't "bad" and is obviously more recent. NickCT (talk) 18:33, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

He ran the kitchen and 60-seat dining room at the Wickham Arms, until his sexual relationship with the owner's wife made the situation difficult. Ramsay then moved to London, where he worked...

I personally have nothing against Gordon Ramsay, but instead of hiding behind half-euphemisms (which go against MOS:EUPHEMISM) I think it would best to simplify that sentence to what it is: "...at Wickham Arms, until he left for London following an affair with the owner's wife. There, he worked..." 2603:8001:4542:28FB:D1A0:7BBB:E6CF:5C27 (talk) 06:24, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

 Partly done: I've rewritten as " until he quit after having sex with the owner's wife." I think the term "affair" would technically be correct, but I hesitate to use that phrasing in Wikipedia's voice when the source is primary and does not make the assertion itself. So, I opted to go more literal. —Sirdog (talk) 07:47, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Number of children

Gordon’s Ramsay’s 6th child has been born, yet his Wikipedia page does not yet reflect this, and still states he has 5. 2A00:23C7:CA91:6701:8147:A412:2B7F:EABA (talk) 17:32, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

It should be good now, updated with areliable source. Magitroopa (talk) 18:43, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Reference about Gordon’s son, his role is Royal Marines Commando. Not royal marines commander. That title does not exist. 2A00:23C8:5083:501:E441:2961:7871:CBE6 (talk) 12:27, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Rangers Career

Why no mention if his famous Glasgow Rangers career he used to talk about? 2A00:23C7:4204:E01:1DD6:13BD:DA63:D516 (talk) 11:50, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

@2A00:23C7:4204:E01:1DD6:13BD:DA63:D516: 'No mention' as in the section on his football career? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seasider53 (talk • contribs)

I wouldn't call News of the World a reliable source. Seasider53 (talk) 12:37, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Did Gordon Ramsay write a large part of that article? That is the only explanation I can think of for going on and on about his playing football when he was twelve and have an ambition to be a pro. Half the boys in the UK (whether English or Scottish) have that ambition. Parts of it read like a kiss up article in some celebrity mag rather than a factual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.38.12.240 (talk) 22:23, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Gordon is Scottish

This page lists Gordon as British, but he is Scottish born and identifies as Scottish in all his work. 2600:4040:7407:4400:E5F6:DC3B:EEF6:BD04 (talk) 03:50, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Are you the same person who made the prior two reports which inaccurately state that Ramsay is not British? Obviously he is British. Scottish people are also British people. Do you have any evidence of his self-identification as Scottish exclusive of being British? —DIYeditor (talk) 06:30, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

However, it should be noted that Scottish is not English and that he is listed under English, not Scottish, cuisine. Of course, Gordon is British, but I think there may be a misidentification of him as being under English cuisine (though he certainly started his career chiefly in England, not Scotland) 110.235.105.128 (talk) 14:02, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

There needs to be some consistency around this. Sure he's British, but he's also European too. Should he be listed as a "European British celebrity chef, restaurateur, television presenter, and writer." Probably not; next we'd take everybody up to "Earthling". Moreover, look at Rowan Atkinson's article. Look at Paul McCartney's. Look at Andrew Wiles's. They're all listed as English, not British. It's more specific; it's better information. Gordon Ramsey should thus also be listed as Scottish and not British.Gr33nshorts (talk) 19:28, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the policy is here, but at least in a situation where he's asked by Companies House for his nationality (where Scottish is an allowed option) he has chosen British as opposed to Scottish. That would for me be strong enough grounds to prefer using British unless there is somewhere that it is evidenced that he'd rather be known as Scottish. This sort of identity thing is a bit more complicated than it just being information, it's a form of self-identification that some people take very seriously. FF0000 (talk) 23:34, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

@FF0000: Companies House goes by passport - it doesn't break people down by English, Scottish, Welsh, or Northern Irish for nationality. The only way to indicate association as Scotland would be listing nationality as British and country of residence as Scotland. However Gordon is most definitely Scottish and should be identified that way, the same way Welsh people are identified Welsh. The fact he moved away at age 9 doesn't make him not Scottish. (There is video of him where his Scottish accent comes out.) Further, he is identified as a "Scottish chef" by British newspapers including The Times (London) and Scottish newspapers as well. —Мандичка^YO 😜 00:39, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Chef Ramsey himself has scolded people who refer to him as British, on film. Scots are very proud of their Scottish heritage, as they should be just like all individuals. That’s why we’re called “individuals” and now “massiduals.” 75.100.203.216 (talk) 06:48, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
